I have a google sheet with nearly 4500 company names in column A. I'd like to write a script that searches google for the companies URL and to return that URL in column B
You want to find the company's official website? I cannot do that, but if you only want a google query, you can use this formula, though I don't think this is what you want :
=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("http://www.google.com/search?q=",A1),A1)
You might also look at the GOOGLEFINANCE function on the formula help page.

I have this issue in Google Gheets and was wondering if anyone knows how to resolve it. Basically, I have a sheet that imports into another sheet (I don't have access to the original sheet, so I cannot make changes there, I can only work with the imported data), and the columns that it contains are list of clients, number of orders and revenue. The issue is that on the original sheet some clients have slight variations to their names (for example, "Seventh Bank" and "Seventh Bank LLC") and Google Sheets treats it as two different entities for calculation purposes. Is there a formula that would allow me to tell Google Sheets that "Seventh Bank" and "Seventh Bank LLC" are both the same thing named "Seventh Bank" or is that not something that's possible? Thank you so much for your help!
try substitution:
=INDEX(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A1; "LLC"; )))
I am making a calculator in Google sheets and I would like to find a formula or script or something that will allow me to read the value of a certain square and add the formula "=sum(C5:C9)" or "=product(C5:C9)" or whichever depending on what the person puts in C4. Not sure if this is possible in google sheets (without custom code), but if it is, that would be great!
try:
=IF(C4="*"; PRODUCT(C5:C9); SUM(C5:C9))
let's suppose I had a column A in google sheets holding terms like
Mäx Mustermann GmbH
Diesdas& Company
that I would like to convert to url names like
maex-mustermann-gmbh
Diesdasand-company
So basically trying to make the word "url" friendly.
Is this something that is possible in google sheets?
Give a try on-
=REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(A1, "[^a-zA-Z0-9\-\s]", ""),"[ ]","-")
I've read tons of topics and tons of links about writing this query but keeps returning #ERROR!. I have no clue what's wrong, the query line I wrote is:
=QUERY(B2:B180;"SELECT "col3" WHERE "col2" CONTAINS "E2"";-1)
What's wrong?
If you want to know more about the problem:
I have a google form created to take a lists of objects that my team has, I want to put in a cell the keyword I'm searching and want excel to return me the name of all the people who owns that object, in normal excel I would write a vba probably but in google sheets I find it a way harder.
P.S. I tried to write the col3 in other ways but seems he doesn't understand , while E2 lights on the google sheets and seems it understood what it is.
The range is only one column (B2:B180) so there simply is no Col3. Also in this query, you should refer to columns by letter: "select B, C, ...".
I'm new to Google sheets, and I've got this spreadsheet with some IMPORTRANGE functions in them, and they look like this:
=IMPORTRANGE($O$2; "Jan!B33")
That first value, $0$2, is supposedly the spreadsheet key, but I'm used to that spreadsheet key coming from the HTML, for example "1QCfFIx6evcghuH4k74_ksqx6P7sb5xzUpRaoQobV6MA", or something like that.
My question is, what is this dollar sign notation, and how do I use it? Is it even something from Google Sheets or is it something someone mistakenly copied from Excel or another program?
That's an absolute cell reference. (The sheet's key is expected to be read from cell O2.)
This range syntax is supported by Excel and Google Sheets.
